Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers got their wish: a rematch with the San Francisco 49ers, a team Green Bay has owned in the postseason.

After the 49ers defeated the Packers, 30-22, at Lambeau Field in the 2012 season opener, Rodgers aspired for a second chance in the postseason against his home-state team.

"It's one game," Rodgers told reporters at the time. "This is a team that was in the NFC Championship last season. Hopefully, we'll see them down the road in the playoffs."

That time has come.

When No. 2-seeded San Francisco hosts No. 3-seeded Green Bay in a NFC Divisional playoff game Saturday evening, it will mark the sixth postseason meeting between the franchises.

The teams' meeting just over four months ago was a physical game in which the 49ers' offensive and defensive lines showcased their superiority.

The only scoring in the first quarter was David Akers' 40-yard field goal.

San Francisco extended the lead to 10-0 early in the second quarter on Alex Smith's 14-yard touchdown pass to an old nemesis: Randy Moss.

The Packers responded with a Rodgers' 1-yard scoring pass to Jermichael Finley to make it, 10-7. Akers finished the first-half scoring with two field goals in the final 3:45, including a NFL record-tying kick that bounced over the cross bar on the final play before intermission.

The 49ers carried that momentum into the third quarter, as they extended the lead to 23-7 on Smith's 4-yard touchdown pass to tight end Vernon Davis.

While the Green Bay offense struggled, the team received a boost from the special teams unit early in the final stanza as Randall Cobb returned a punt 75 yards for a touchdown, and Rodgers hit Jordy Nelson for the 2-point conversion.

The 23-15 margin was short-lived, as Frank Gore ran 23 yards for a touchdown to increase the 49ers' cushion to 30-15. A final 10-yard touchdown pass from Rodgers to James Jones accounted for the 30-22 final.

San Francisco's ground game flourished while the Packers' was virtually non-existent. Green Bay's defense was again plagued by poor tackling and also gave up several big pass plays.

Gore rushed for 112 yards on 16 carries, while Rodgers led Green Bay with 27 yards and Cedric Benson totaled just 18 yards on 9 carries for a paltry 2.0 average.
